By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – The first of a summer-long distribution of food began recently in the parking lot of Beacon of Life, formerly known as La Bove Grande restaurant/banquet hall
at one of the circles on Route 70. Ezi Levi, the director of social services for Chai4ever said the USDA’s Summer Food Supplemental Program has a borough distribution point. “During the
pandemic, they have relaxed restrictions and have opened it up to anyone who has children under the age of 18. There is no income eligibility required.” Lakehurst and area residents are eligible

Wreaths Across America Comes To Shore
By Bob Vosseller SEASI DE H EIGH TS – When Deborah O’Neil invited Wreaths Across America to bring its traveling exhibition to the community, she hardly expected it to come so soon, but it arrived a few days after Memorial Day. That date was highly appropriate considering the organization’s mission which is to
“honor those who serve and their families, and teach future generations about the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms.” O’Neil retired a few years ago as a police communications supervisor and has made the support of veterans a top priority. “It all began about a year ago. I learned about this and said this would be really nice to have (Wreaths - See Page 20)
Non-Residents Angry Over Marijuana Ordinance
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township officials will soon be introducing an ordinance that would ban the sale and growth of cannabis in the township. During a recent council meeting, they received some hostility and even accusations from non-residents concerning the matter. The state gave municipalities an August 22 deadline to determine if they wanted to opt out of permitting a dispensary for recreational distribution and areas where cannabis could be grown. Councilmen Robert Hudak and James Vaccaro headed a committee to explore options. Seeing limited areas for both sale and growth, and a lack of time to properly examine the issue, the councilmen recommended to the Township Council that they follow what most municipalities in Ocean County have done, which was to ban sales and growth of marijuana in the community. Because of the pandemic, the most recent

55+ Communities Fight Insurance To Reopen
By Stephanie Faughnan OCEAN COUNTY – Age-restricted communities faced with the threat of COVID-related lawsuits just got a step closer to seeing things open up for them. Ocean County serves as home to more over 55 retirement developments than any other county in New Jersey. All require payment of homeowner association fees to access standard amenities, such as the clubhouse and pool. Many communities denied or restricted entry to their clubhouses and pools last summer. The concern wasn’t just the spread of COVID-19 – but the risk of liability exposure. Nearly a decade ago, insurance companies inserted pandemic exclusions in the policies they (Communities - See Page 5)

Ordinance:
Continued From Page 1 Township Council meeting was broadcast using Zoom. Several visitors to that session questioned the council and at least one accused Councilman Hudak of making a statement which he denied. Later in the session, the speaker apologized to Hudak for that accusation. Vaccaro reviewed the pending ordinance stating that he and Hudak had met twice with the township planner and received property data “that we will present to members of council in June for their consideration, discussion and recommendations for a draft ordinance for a total ban of recreational marijuana in Manchester
Township.” “We know we can opt out on the sale, distribution and manufacture and cultivation of recreational marijuana. If that is the final action of our Township Council at that time, I thank my colleagues for their actions,” Vaccaro added. He thanked Hudak and Councilman Sam Fusaro who noted that the passage of the ordinance would also fall under the township master plan and the area of warehousing, definition of warehousing, zoning and its use. Hudak said during the meeting “there are all kinds of changes to be made to our master plan and very soon we will be able to give the council the ordinance that will address many of the topics that have been
talked about and addressed in prior master plans. That will be the first piece of what we want to do, which includes cannabis related legislation.” Hugh Giordano, a representative of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, which is a national labor union which represents cannabis workers said, “we oppose any opt out or ban that have been pushed by the League of Municipalities. These are good union jobs. These are living wage jobs. They will be careers and they will be educated careers - people with degrees in botonny, horticulture, chemistry. At the medical dispensaries, there are pharmacists working.” He advised the council to review an ordinance passed by Bayonne weeks earlier “so that you can decide who comes in and what kind of character they have and look at their labor rights, community standards, environmental standards and security standards on a point-based system and the city of Bayonne has done that work already.” Edward “Lefty” Grimes a member of a non-profit group advocating for disabled rights and cannabis patient rights said he heard Hudak say earlier in the meeting that he was looking forward to live meetings again to keep disabled people out of the meeting. “Now you can’t wait to take it away from us and put the homebound
back in their homes. You can’t wait to take it away. We all voted for cannabis but we don’t want it in our town.” “I never said that,” Hudak responded. “You can go over the tape. I never said that. We all said the same thing. It is exciting to be able to go back to in-person meetings. I said nothing about cannabis patients.” Council President Craig Wallis said he was a veteran and did not want to hear anything further from Grimes. “If you are going to sit there and accuse people about something you don’t know about do it somewhere else. You have to talk like a reasonable person and you aren’t there right now.” At the close of the meeting Grimes returned to apologize to Hudak. Eatontown resident Jeff King advocated for medicinal marijuana use for cancer patients and others in need of pain relief “and any number of conditions.” As to recreational use he called for council to “keep an open mind and if you would speak kindly for home growing that really would be the right thing to do.” “The medical marijuana is not what is being discussed right now. That has been resolved by the state. This is strictly dealing with the recreational and the manufacture and sale of it in the town and that is up to the leaders of the town with how they want to deal with that,” Wallis said.

wrote for condominium associations and other similar developments. Simply put, this meant an insurance company could legally deny pandemic-related claims brought against the homeowners’ association. Residents responded in an uproar, saying it seemed impossible to prove where someone became sick. However, with the claim denial would also come the cost to defend against it. While the insurance company would pay for attorneys for other liability cases, homeowner associations would need to come up with retainers for legal representation against pandemic-related lawsuits. The New Jersey Senate recently passed S-3584, a bill that grants senior communities immunity from most COVID-19 related lawsuits. If the Assembly votes in favor of companion legislation, it’s then up to Governor Phil Murphy to sign the immunity bill into law. Homeowner associations have adapted a different approach from last summer to this one. Many aren’t waiting for finalization of the immunity bill to open up their pools and clubhouses. Andy Pignatelli is the president of the Pheasant Run Homeowners Association in Barnegat. He sees the declining pandemic numbers as encouraging. He’s also quite pleased that masks won’t be required outside any longer and social distancing unnecessary. “We had residents who want to use the pool or clubhouse sign a waiver,” explained Pignatelli. “They also were provided with a bracelet they need to wear when they first come in. We’re
The Manchester Times, June 12, 2021, Page 5 now planning to expand access to guests.” Heritage Bay, located a couple of miles down West Bay Avenue in Barnegat hasn’t opened up either their clubhouse or pool. “We are working on it and will be meeting to discuss things,” said Janice Mooney, who heads up the Heritage Bay Homeowners Association. “We don’t know what restrictions are at this point. We know we have to keep track of who goes inside for the Board of Health.” According to Mooney, there are problems with the community’s pool itself and need to be addressed separately by a pool service. She feels the clubhouse also needs to be sterilized before anyone can use it. Sea Oaks, another age-restricted community in Little Egg Harbor, recently made changes to provide access to their facilities. “We had to sign a waiver for tort immunity,” shared John Arizzi, a Sea Oaks resident. “Everything is back open the way it was before. No guests are allowed and people who come in have to wear a bracelet to show they signed the waiver.” Greenbriar Oceanaire in Waretown offers its residents several amenities. They initially adapted the waiver system last year even for residents who wanted to play bocce ball. Soon thereafter, everything was shutdown. “When you sign the waiver, you get an orange plastic bracelet to wear that gives you admittance to the pool,” Greenbriar resident Rita Kopacz confirmed. “Right now, there are no longer restrictions after the waivers are signed. Guests will be welcomed next weekend and must also sign the waiver.” The new normal – as seniors join the rest of the world in their desire to return to the familiar.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Don’t Stereotype Me. (Misconceptions About Brain Injury) Without any knowledge of who I am, preconceptions about me may begin to cycle through your head when you first see me using my walker or my wheelchair. Sometimes, I wish I had a sign around my neck stating that I have trouble walking because of a brain injury I suffered in a snowboarding accident. Often I want people to think of me as just an average person, without seeing my wheelchair or walker, and without knowing I injured my brain. The human brain is so complex that we do not completely understand brain injury. We may sometimes even form incorrect ideas about injuring our brain. There are so many misconceptions about brain injury that it makes little sense to review each one. Instead, I will review some of the reasons incorrect ideas come about. Common misconceptions typically arise as a result of one or more of the following pitfalls: generalizing, stereotyping, and assuming. People generalize brain injury because it offers a concrete explanation to something abstract and idiosyncratic. Symptoms such as impulsiveness, poor memory, or physical disability are often assigned across the board to brain injury. But we are too complex to say anything concretely about the injury of our brain. A doctor may say a person who injures the brain’s frontal lobe is bound to be more impulsive as a result. However, that same person may work very hard and be exceptionally disciplined after the injury to keep his or her impulses in check. In the same realm as generalizing is stereotyping. People may stereotype “brain injury” with an image of an elderly patient who has extreme physical limitations. In reality, some brain injury survivors are quite young, and some work extremely
hard to overcome physical setbacks. The brain is so complex, and our lives are so complex, that any stereotype applied to brain injury may be greatly shortsighted. Brain injury does not discriminate based on age or demographic, and we should not think of a certain type of person when we think of brain injury. Assumptions about brain injury are too broad to classif y an occur rence whose effects are variable and specific. For instance, physical disability does not necessarily mean cognitive disability. One of the sharpest brain injury survivors I have met is extremely physically limited. Although she uses a motorized wheelchair, her rationale is outstanding. This phenomenon works the other way around. Ambulatory folks with no apparent physical limitations may be working hard to overcome cognitive challenges. Preconceptions about brain injury lead to misconceptions. Just as we are all different individuals, every brain injury is different. In order to have any understanding of someone’s brain injury, we need to have sufficient exposure to the brain injury survivor in question. The only concrete thing about brain injury is that no brain injury is concrete. Matt Collura On March 9th, 2011, Matt Collura suffered a traumatic brain injury in a snowboarding accident and was in a coma for weeks. Until 2011, he was an avid runner. A three-sport captain in high school, Matt graduated with a degree in biochemistry from Boston College and a master’s in architecture from NJIT. Doctors predicted that even if he regained consciousness, he would never walk again. Since he regained consciousness, he has regularly been proving doctors wrong. One day, he plans to run again.
Toms River Leaders Wrong About Cannabis Hello Council and Mayor Hill, I am certain you have received many emails regardi ng you r proposed ordinance to ban cannabis retail in Toms River Township, but as a resident, homeowner, business owner, and parent, it is my right and duty to address this short-sighted decision. First, and most importantly, you were elected to represent the residents of Toms River. The voters responded at the ballot box, with nearly 64% saying YES to legalization. Fran kly, that’s a larger margin than any of you were elected with. What gives you the impression that you should ignore what voters want? It’s honestly disturbing that you are so comfortable showing your true ambitions as council members, in fur thering your own personal agendas (cough Rodrick cough), rather than supporting your constituency. Second, I’m gobsmacked that any of you has the aud acit y to t al k about banning cannabis sales when there has not been one meaningful effort put forth by the Council to address the skyrocketing opioid crisis that has had our community in a chokehold for nearly 2 decades. Your comments sound like
“Reefer Madness” and it’s embarrassing. Multiple research studies have shown that can nabis can t reat medical conditions, including chronic pain, helping to eliminate the use of opioid pain relief. You claim to care about who is buying cannabis for recreational use while completely ignoring the fact that teenagers have been turning to their parents’ medicine cabinets for years. Heroin continues to destroy families in this very community, yet you continue to remain silent on addressing the issue. Additionally, your calls to ban cannabis retail reek of racism and shows your desire to continue to criminalize those in the community you deem “lesser.” Rather than worrying about police revenue and continuing to fill our jails with non-violent drug offenders, the focus should be on real criminals involved in an illegal drug trade killing hundreds of TR residents every year rather than picking at the low-hanging fruit of stoners. Adults accessing recreational use decreases the amount of available illegal use which also decreases access for juveniles and minors. Treating cannabis as alcohol is smart for the populace and smart for the economy, regardless of the fact that cannabis use is safer than alcohol use. I do not see how it could be more clear.

The most obvious point of all here is the revenue that our township so desperately needs. There have been repeated cries on the loss of school funding for years, but there has been no meaningful revenue stream created for this purpose. Our property taxes continue to increase. Our services have been cut back. Storefronts sit empty. I ran two quick errands yesterday and spotted 7 open storefronts on Hooper Ave alone. What’s the plan? Another Dollar General? Another discount store selling junk? Precisely how can TR attract new residents when there is, quite literally, nothing here? It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that families move to towns with good schools, recreation, shopping, community services - all of which are sorely lacking. As for the claim that you do not have enough information to move forward with retail sales, the state law outlines exactly where these retail establishments can be placed (industrial areas). The law allows municipalities to select how many establishments are allowed, as well as times of operation. These dispensaries need staff so let’s create some jobs while we’re at it. The fact that you are being given the opportunity to set these boundaries makes the decision to allow cannabis retail a no-brainer. Granted, TR is not as large nor as populated as Paterson, but they brought in $50k in tax revenue in 2 months from one medical dispensary. Not multiple; not recreational - just one medical. Why would you turn that money away? Lastly I ask, and I genuinely hope you ruminate on, this question: How long do you think TR can survive in this era? It’s the 21st century. You have a responsibility to residents to start acting like it. Devon Mazza Toms River
How Can You Tell Who Is Vaccinated? The CDC decided to reward citizens who are vaccinated by allowing them not to wear a mask. A noble thought. Sadly, CDC did not reward vaccinated citizens, the decision now allows citizens who are not vaccinated, didn’t want to be vaccinated, who are anti vac. to walk around freely with no regard to their neighbors’ well-being. How do u know who is vaccinated and who is not? I am fully vaccinated and I am more worried now that I have been in the last 12 months. Poor employers and employees trying to enforce mask policy are subject to verbal abuse and in some instances physical confrontations. Robert Witkowski Manahawkin
Don’t Bash Small Businesses Online
I’ve seen too many posts on social media bashing small businesses, which is very harmful for small businesses, especially in this climate. Yet, everyone will keep shopping at big, multi-billion dollar companies even with so many mistakes they make without questioning it. Some complaints might be legit, but most are probably due to businesses struggling due to this past year with COVID. Lack of finding employees, materials crisis throughout the country, backorders, delays with deliveries, products are unavailable, increased pricing which leads to owners having to rethink and change their normal way of running their business. Before making a negative comment all over social media, ask questions, listen, try to understand and be patient. These are not normal times. Concetta Sasso Alvarez Howell

He is urging residents to “spread the word locally and allow our neighbors and friends to take advantage of this program. “The USDA gives us a limited number of meals to distribute and we give it out on a first come first served basis. In addition, we offer the option for those who want to get a weekly email notifying them as to
the day and time of that particular week’s distribution,” he said. “We have been in existence for seven years. We are still young by way of organizations but we have been around the block and we help families all around the United States. We are based in Lakewood. Our mission is to help people.

lems,” he said. “It is hard enough to raise children when you are healthy but when you are a single parent or a married parent whose spouse is not well and you have to take care of the spouse and the kids how do you manage everything? The kids get affected just as much as the parents. I call them the lost population because they walk around and physically, they are fine. No one can tell anything is wrong but inside, emotionally, they are crumbling.” Levi said, He added, “we have hundreds of volunteers. The way we work our volunteers is that we have certain specifics that people do. With our message and chat boards you can have a lot of people who sign up and then when you need something done you send out a message and then whomever is available goes and does it.” “People love to help and be community minded. I would say locally we have a few hundred volunteers,” Levi said. He and two workers distributed boxes of food and quarts of milk during the fi rst distribution. “The items in the box are based on nutrition and there has to be a vegetable, fruit and other healthy items. Every week will be different. It won’t be the same. We will switch it up every week. This week we have chickpeas, tomatoes, crackers, bagels, avocado, clementine, garlic knots, turkey and cottage cheese. The government requires with each meal that you serve to have milk. The challenge we have is that a lot of people don’t want all the milk.” Levi said, “we figure our menu to their requirements and we submit it to each week and generally they approve the menu. We never tell people we can solve their problems we just tell them that no matter what happens, we will be there for you.” “If you would like a weekly email reminder of the day and time of Chai4ever’s Food Distribution Program at our Lakehurst, location, send an email with your name, email address, and number of children that you are picking up for to foodbox@chai4ever. org,” Levi said. Levi noted that “registration does not require you to take food boxes from us. Registration gives you a specific time slot and less waiting if you do choose to take a box from us.” For more information or if you have questions call 646-519-2193.

We will be practicing safety for ALL!
−Photo courtesy Ocean County College TOMS RIVER – Members of the Ocean County College community gathered in person Thursday to celebrate the Class of 2021 with commencement ceremonies on the campus’s Gateway Building Mall. During a long year of remote learning, OCC’s faculty, staff, administration and students all gave more than 100 percent, using their creativity and ingenuity to continue to teach, learn and work, providing the excellent education OCC is known for. When the state mandated that in-person gatherings could resume several weeks ago, OCC’s administration gave the go-ahead to make this year’s commencement a reality, a suitable reward for all that effort. More than 1,400 graduates were granted associate degrees during the College’s 54th Commencement.
OCC’s Nurses’ Pinning Ceremony took place earlier in the week, and in-person, on Tuesday, May 25. 150 individuals graduated from OCC’s well-respected School of Nursing, founded in 1968. The pinning ceremony celebrates their successful completion of the program. The 2021 Awards Ceremony, scheduled for Wednesday, May 26, was convened virtually that afternoon because of impending thunderstorms. All events may be viewed here: ocean.edu/ student-services/graduation-2021.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE CASA Begins Training New Volunteers
TOMS RIVER – Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Ocean County announced that they will begin training 19 new CASA volunteers at the start of June. Once these individuals complete their 30-hours of pre-service training and are officially sworn-in by the family court judge, these CASA volunteers will be assigned to a child or children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. “Individuals in our Ocean County community want to volunteer to help abused and neglected children more than ever before through our CASA program,” said Ariane Yazdan, Executive Director of CASA of Ocean County. “This mean that even more abused and neglected foster children are going to have at least one stable adult in their lives advocating for them as they navigate the foster care world. We are incredibly excited knowing these dedicated individuals are going to make a difference in the lives of children who need them,” Yazdan said. CASA’s mission is to train community volunteers to advocate for foster children who are making their way through the New Jersey Family Court System. The training classes teach community volunteers how to be the eyes and
ears for the family court, write detailed court reports, and further advocate for children who have been displaced from their biological homes. The citizens of Ocean County rallied this past pandemic year to help change a child’s story. Last year, 43 new CASA volunteers were swornin. 19 individuals begin their training this week. “It’s an intense, thorough training, and we are elated that so many individuals in Ocean County cared enough about our foster youth to inevitably make a difference,” Yazdan said. “The stories of foster children and their placement usually start with an element of sadness when they are removed from their homes. It is always our goal to change a child’s story so that the ending is happier and more hopeful. That is what we strive for day-in and day-out,” said Yazdan. Yazdan also noted that while the current class is filled with future CASA volunteers, CASA of Ocean County will be holding a new pre-service training session in September 2021. For more information about CASA of Ocean County and how individuals in the community can become a CASA volunteer to make a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children, visit the CASA of Ocean County website at casaofoceancounty.org.

It can be quite confusing figuring out whether your insurance carries a hearing aid benefit. What we do know is MEDICARE does not pay for hearing aids and MEDICAID does. However, many secondary insurances have a hearing aid benefit if you’re willing to spend hours of your time on the phone speaking with a live representative to give you that information. To save you time, this is what I know: First, a large majority of CIGNA plans have a hearing aid benefit. This benefit is administered by a 3rd party administrator called Amplifon. You are required to register through Amplifon’s portal such that the Audiologists staff can assess your benefits information and print it out. Second, many of the AETNA plans have a hearing aid benefit either through a 3rd party such as Amplifon or a flat monetary benefit that is paid to the Audiologist. This benefit can range from $500 to $750 in most cases. Third, those of you that have Federal BC/ BS typically have a $1250 hearing aid benefit per ear. In addition, those Federal employees can also choose to go through a 3rd party administrator such as TruHearing. Fourth, many of the Ford and/or General Motors retirees have a hearing aid benefit
administered through 3rd parties such as American Hearing Benefits (AHB) or AudioNet. Other 3d party administrators include HEAR USA, EPIC, and Your Hearing Network. The best advice that I can give you is to provide your Audiologist with your insurance information so that they can verify your benefits. In the vast majority of these plans, you will save a significant amount of money taking advantage of your 3rd party benefit. The pitfalls of these plans include the following: • Most of these plans do not offer long 0% interest plans • The Audiologist is limited to specific manufacturers for the hearing aid selected. In many cases, this may not be the best hearing instrument for the patient’s lifestyle and listening needs • The Audiologist can charge for their time after the first year of services Dr. Izzy is always available to answer your questions about most hearing care issues. Dr. Izzy and his Staff have offices in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin and can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit: www.gardenstatehearing.com.

Taurine Supports Brain And Heart Health
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The complaint of shortness of breath and exercise intolerance are exactly the same, however the causes and treatments may be worlds apart. Dyspnea as it is termed can be related to asthma or heart failure, and again, the treatment for these conditions differs dramatically. Today’s focus is on the heart, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) which is the name given to someone who has a thickening of the wall of their heart’s major pumping chamber. It results in inferior pumping abilities. There are many causes for this, but elevated blood pressure (BP) is the main one. With untreated LVH, heart failure becomes more imminent as does cognitive disease. For example, LVH doubles the risk for dementia! So my goal today is to help you with the underlying cause of dyspnea which may be related to LVH, for example. Doing so protects the heart and reduces symptoms that look like cardiac asthma. When you have a healthy heart, you don’t experience as much shortness of breath (dyspnea), wheezing, crackling, rales and/or exercise intolerance problems. A good cardiologist can detect LVH, or the beginnings of it with some simple non-invasive tests such as an electrocardiogram (EKG) and an echocardiogram or “echo” as it is more often called. Furthermore, your cardiologist will make the best suggestion for you, based upon your risk factors, age, lifestyle and heart function. The treatment may include medication, implanted devices, or surgery depending on the cause. But when it comes to a conversation about alternative treatments including dietary supple-
ments, you’re likely to hit a brick wall because conventionally-schooled physician may not be up-to-date on the research regarding natural options. Sold nationwide, this is an easy-to-access, inexpensive and well-researched dietary supplement that is known for its ability to support all aspects of cardiovascular health. It is absolutely crucial for a healthy heart. Why? Because taurine is found in massive amounts in your heart and brain! Remember how I stated earlier that a person with heart failure has a two-fold risk of dementia? Well, taurine is the number one amino acid in both of these tissues which further illustrates to me how useful it can be for both tissues. Taurine is involved in heart rhythm and may be useful to people with PACs, PVCs, pauses and/or tachycardia but do ask your cardiologist before attempting self-treatment. Taurine calms the body. For this reason, it is sometimes taken in the evening as it helps with sleep. Taurine has one more interesting use in the natural arena. It can stabilize neurons in the brain and is sometimes employed in people who have epileptic seizures. Taurine is sold at all health food stores. Combining taurine with other heart-healthy supplements such as Aged Garlic, Arginine, L-carnitine or Ubiquinol or PQQ could be even more useful for the heart. That said, do not substitute taurine, or any vitamin for your medication, or for proper treatments by a qualified physician that you’ve been seeing. If this topic interests you, I have posted a more comprehensive article at my website, suzycohen.com.

Wreaths:
Continued From Page 1 come to our town so I put in for it. I learned a few weeks ago that we were accepted. Mayor (Anthony) Vaz said that was great. This is a very patriotic town,” O’Neil said. “We are a national non-profit we are based out of Columbia Falls, Maine which is a little town six hours east of Boston, Massachusetts. Our mission statement of Wreaths
Across America is three simple words, ‘remember, honor, teach.’ When we talk about Wreaths Across America we talk about those words with emphasis on the word, ‘remember’,” WAA Mobile Education Exhibit Ambassador Stefan Brann said. “That is why we do what we do every year which is to remember our fallen vets and those of the United States military who are no longer with us. We place what we call ‘veterans remembrance wreaths’ or any vari-
ation of those words except for ‘Christmas wreath.’ It is isn’t a Christmas wreath as that has a whole other meaning. On December 18, 2021 it will be our 29th year of doing this,” Brann said. Brann added, “it all started at Arlington National Cemetery in December of 1992 with 5,000 wreaths and it has grown since then. We virtually went unnoticed for 13 years. An Air Force photographer took a picture of the wreaths at the cemetery and
published it in a military magazine and that was it. In 2007 Wreaths Across America was formed as an organization and we have kept growing from there.” Last year 1.7 million veterans’ wreaths were placed in total across the country, approximately 267,000 of them at Arlington National Cemetery including 14,000 for the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery. More than one million volunteers participated at 2,557 locations nationwide. More than a third of the volunteers were children. Over 500 truckloads of wreaths were delivered across the country by hundreds of volunteer professional truck drivers. Their vehicles and fuel were donated. “In 2018 was the beginning of our overseas project. We went to Normandy with over 9,000 wreaths,” Brann said. “Last year when other nonprofit organizations were failing (due to conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic) we saw growth of over 400 locations.” The event gained the help of New Jersey Warehouse and Movers Association based in Toms River. “Our members are licensed movers in New Jersey. They (WAA) needed transportation and our members are sponsors,” Association Executive Director Tracy Denora said. She added the event also involved coordination by the Women of the Ortley Beach Moose “who did all this preparing.” David “Mel” Russen Jr. of Point Pleasant serves as WAA’s treasurer. “I am a location leader here, Point Pleasant, Manasquan and Brick so I go out and look for cemeteries and so far I have seven that we sponsor.” “We are very fortunate in that not only did we get the mobile unit (from WAA) but we are also sponsoring Ocean County Memorial Park Cemetery that have about 300 veterans buried there so we are hoping to get enough wreaths to place on their graves,” O’Neil said. School children and teachers from the Hugh J. Boyd Elementary School took advantage of the close proximity of the exhibit to their school and came inside to watch a short video featuring some U.S. history about veterans and a short synopsis about WAA. Teacher Carolyn Cabinski said, “I think this is wonderful. We had never heard about Wreaths Across America before. They do a wonderful job. They said they went from 1 million to 2 ½ million wreaths. It is interesting that they have been doing this for 29 years and started before they formed into an organization.” Members of the Shore Boros American Legion Post #351 visited the exhibit. It was just a few steps away from the Post. Commander William Kevish said, “we have heard about this for many, many years but we’ve never been involved as we are today and I am so grateful that this project came to Seaside Heights and we were allowed to participate in a small way. People are coming into the trailer here and donating money. Members of our post have done that.” He noted a ceremony was held “over by our monuments and having a wreath placed on a gravestone. It was really a heartwarming service and I think people should really come out and support it if it comes to their town.” The exhibit had traveled to Seaside Heights from California and the next day moved on to Ohio.

Inside The Law The Bulk Sales Act As It Applies To The Sale Of Real Estate
Michael J. Deem, Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea & Associates Anyone selling real estate in New Jersey needs to be aware of the terms of the Bulk Sales Act. The purpose behind the Bulk Sales Act is to protect a purchaser from any taxes owed by the seller to the State of New Jersey. The failure to follow the Bulk Sales procedures could result in the State assessing any tax liability of the seller against the purchaser. For the purposes of the Bulk Sale Act, the only real estate that is exempt from the Bulk Sales filing requirement is a simple dwelling house, which is a one- or two-family residential building, or condominium, if the seller is an individual, estate or trust. Almost all other real estate transactions are required to file pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act. The filing procedure for the Bulk Sales Act is relatively straightforward At least 10 business days prior to the closing of title, the purchaser or their attorney must file a form with the State referred to as a C-9600 Bulk Sales Notice. The form contains information about the transaction including the seller’s name and tax ID number as well as the purchaser’s name and tax ID number. The terms of the sale must be disclosed by way of a copy of the
real estate contract attached to the form. Once the State receives that form, it will then review its records to determine whether the seller owes any taxes to the State, including any taxes that may result from the specific sale. The State will then send what is referred to as a Bulk Sales escrow letter to the buyer’s attorney. The Bulk Sales escrow letter will direct how much money must be escrowed from the seller at closing pending a determination by the State as to the actual taxes owed. The next step is for the seller or their accountant to submit to the State a form known as a TTD (Transfer Tax Declaration) form in which the seller discloses the taxes that may be due to the State as a result of the transaction. In some cases the Bulk Sales notice and the TTD form can be submitted simultaneously so that the State can make a determination as to amount of taxes owed. Once the State determines the taxes owed, it will send a second letter directing the buyer’s attorney to release a specific amount of money from the escrow held at closing. Upon the State receives that money it will then send a third letter to the buyer’s attorney authorizing the release of the remaining escrow to the seller.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Eh, I’d Rather Stay In Quarantine, Thank You!
Dear Joel, I’m very happy to see that the world is opening up again. My friends are telling me they’re going out shopping and dining, but I must say that I don’t feel that excited. It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s just that I have really developed a love of staying home? Is that ok? Answer: I think it’s fi ne, especially if you’re happy. So many people have discovered a whole new world, right in their own homes. Between ordering food and other items and catching up on reading and
movie watching, I too enjoy spending time indoors. Do try to get out and enjoy some of the great summer weather, though. The sunshine is a great mood lifter. Thanks for writing.

Fireworks Over The Toms River To Return
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – The fireworks over the Toms River, organized by Beachwood, will make its triumphant return this year, Mayor Ronald Roma said. As coronavirus restrictions are slowly being lessened, towns are starting to plan their big events. More outside events are being put on the calendar – partially because of the weather and partially because it’s safer to do so. Between people being vaccinated and the fact that COVID-19 spreads less easily outside, events like the Beachwood fi reworks are going to fi nally happen this year. Last year, they had to postpone it to Labor Day weekend, hoping that conditions would be better by then. During last summer, the Ocean County Health Department said that the average age of
people testing positive for the virus had dropped from 54.8 to 35. They attributed this mainly to summer gatherings. The Beachwood Fireworks Committee and emergency management wound up having to cancel it all together. It was not an easy decision to make, officials said at the time. It was impossible to follow the governor’s social distancing guidelines. A Toms River resident wound up funding a July 4 fireworks show over Shelter Cove. The fireworks could attract 15,000 people. Some of them squeeze into parks and beaches. Some set up chairs on Route 9 or other places that you can watch from. In 2018, there weren’t any fireworks at all, again due to forces beyond their control. The fireworks vendor, Fireworks Ex-
travaganza, was not able to ship the fireworks. They did not have staff available with licenses to transport explosives. They later said they had a problem with a driver, and did not have a good Plan B. They were scheduled to put on shows at several other venues on the same day. They were not able to get to Beachwood and Milltown. To make up for the failure they put on 2019’s fireworks free of charge. Support The Fireworks Although local officials are heavily involved in the planning of the fireworks, it’s not paid for by tax dollars. Rather, it relies on donations. In fact, if every family just gave a few dollars, it would pay for itself. Checks can be made out to “Beachwood
Fireworks,” and mailed to the municipal building at 1600 Pinewald Road, Beachwood, NJ 08722. Memorial Day Parade Beachwood Volunteer Fire Company invited the public to their annual Firefighter Memorial Service and Community Parade on Memorial Day (May 31). The Firefighter services begin at 10 a.m. in front of the fi rehouse on Beachwood Boulevard. The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. from the fi re station and proceeds to Neilson Memorial Park (Beachwood Blvd & Compass Ave) where the Borough’s Memorial Day Service will take place. Any organization wishing to participate in the parade is asked to contact the fire department at admin@bvfd16.com to register.

Ocean County College Scholarship Celebration
TOMS RIVER – The annual Scholarship Celebration sponsored by the Ocean County College Foundation will be held in person on June 18 at 6 p.m. on the Campus Mall in Toms River. “Since 1965, the OCC Foundation has provided support for thousands of deserving students,” says Foundation Executive Director, Ken Malagiere. “In fact, with the help of our generous donors, our Foundation has awarded over $16.5 million in direct scholarship and special program support.” “Despite the many efforts by the College to provide a quality, affordable education, many students still require fi nancial assistance. The need is great - and with your help, we can achieve our goal of making the dream of a college education a reality for as many students in our community as possible.” This year, the Foundation will honor the 200 Club of Ocean County, a private non-profit corporation founded in 1987. The 200 Club is dedicated to providing fi nancial assistance, comfort and support to the individuals and families of police officers, fi refighters, EMS personnel and other fi rst responders who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty; its members have contributed more than $250,000 in scholarships for these families. Their motto is “We Remember,” supporting the goal of memorializing these individuals and their families who have been seriously injured or have made the ultimate sacrifice. For more information on the 200 Club of Ocean County, visit 200clubofocean.org. The other honorees are Henry A. Jackson, Ed.D., executive director of Academic Success at OCC, and Teresa (Tracy) Walsh, Ph.D., MSN, RN, dean of Nursing and Health Sciences. Dr. Jackson is celebrated for his efforts administering the College Readiness Now Program and the Early College Program, a partnership between all 16 Ocean County high schools, four Ocean County vocational schools and Donovan Catholic High School. This program offers 9th- through 12th-grade students the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Dr. Walsh is honored to serve as the

Dean of Nursing and Health Sciences at the same institution where she began her nursing career. She believes OCC’s nursing faculty provided her with a strong educational foundation, support, mentorship and challenging experiences as she prepared to enter the nursing profession. She has been a dedicated leader at the College for many years, and last year,
when the Governor’s Executive Order forced the campus to close, she quickly and efficiently formulated a plan to shift to a virtual setting to assist OCC’s nursing students. This outdoor event will follow all available guidance from the state of New Jersey to ensure a safe, enjoyable celebration benefiting the students of Ocean County
College. Those who are interested in supporting the mission of the OCC Foundation, may participate in one of the many event sponsorship levels. More information is available here: ocean.edu/about-us/college-foundation -ocean-count y-college-nj/foundation -scholarship-celebration.

By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – Affecting more than 300,000 people in the United States alone, Ocean County has proclaimed June as Dystonia Awareness Month. Dystonia is a neurological disorder, often characterized by involuntary muscle contractions causing abnormal repetitive movements and/or postures that may impede the ability to walk, speak, see, write, and control the posture of the head. At a recent meeting of the Ocean County Commissioners, residents Marguerite S. Weiss and her husband Gary Smith accepted a proclamation naming June as Dystonia Awareness Month in Ocean County. Director of the Board of Commissioners Gary Quinn thanked Weiss and her husband for their efforts in raising awareness about the disease. “We are honored to have you here today and we thank you for coming and sharing your experiences,” Quinn said. Weiss explained how she can now walk on her own after undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation and other treatments. She previously was only able to walk no more than a few steps, having to rely on a scooter and wheelchair. “I am so grateful to be among the lucky ones who benefits from this procedure,” Weiss said. She also thanked the Commissioners for bringing much-needed attention to the disorder. “Most people don’t know what dystonia is. They think it’s a country in Eastern Europe,” Weiss joked. “I truly appreciate your efforts to educate people about this condition.” Weiss hopes that by sharing her experiences publicly it will help and encouragement to others. “Raising awareness about dystonia may provide better understanding, compassion, and support for Dystonia sufferers as well as continued research, which may ultimately result in a cure,” she said.

Endangering Child Who Died From Heat Exposure
By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – A local woman pleaded guilty to endangerment, after leaving her child in a hot car which led to the child’s death. Chaya Shurkin, 27, of Lakewood, pled guilty to Endangering the Welfare of a Child, police said. She had left her child in the car alone for two and a half hours. The car was turned off, in the heat of the day on May 6, 2019. Life-saving measures were performed on the scene by police. Unfortunately, the child was pronounced dead at the hospital. During her sentencing on July 23, her recommended sentence will be a term of probation. “Sadly, the loss of this child was totally avoidable. Ms. Shurkin lost a child as a consequence of her own inattention; this is a burden she must carry with her for the rest of her life, which amounts to a
far greater punishment than any sentence the State could possibly recommend to a Court,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. “It should be noted that the State’s recommendation for probation is consistent with the manner in which the majority of these dreadful types of cases have been handled in Ocean County, as well as throughout this state and nation, and it represents an acknowledgement that the loss of a child - under these horrific circumstances – is tantamount to a life-sentence in and of itself.” Prosecutor Billhimer commended the efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Christine Lento who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Lakewood Township Police Department, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, and the State and Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jun 12 - jun 18
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Read the fine print and double-check for accuracy. You could disrupt your income streams by pursuing exciting activities and deviating from norms. As the week unfolds, focus on being creative and imaginative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s fine to view things from a scientific perspective while gathering data, but it’s the people who have to be considered first. You may enjoy reactions to innovative ideas or shocking actions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may not hold the winning hand. You could experience an unwanted entanglement if you mingle with the wrong people in the week ahead. Exercise caution and listen to those who have proven themselves trustworthy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It might be best to do it all by yourself. However, a willing partner would appreciate a chance to keep you company even if there is a formidable task on your schedule. Mix romance with teamwork when appropriate this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The pressure is on. Someone might persuade you to make a change, or you may become spellbound by something to the exclusion of all else. Don’t make drastic changes or irrevocable decisions in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may fall prey to delusions of grandeur in the week to come. However, the thought of upcoming entertainment shared with partners or loved ones might channel your enthusiasm into more appropriate directions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You should do the things that really make you happy. If you aren’t exactly sure what will bring a smile to your face, look for guideposts along the way. Accentuate the positive whenever you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It is often said that a fool and his money are soon parted. Remain alert when handling your finances in the upcoming week. You could find a diamond in the rough if you look beyond the obvious and consider new ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be inspired to find your heart’s desire. Keep daydreams and wishful thinking in their place, however, since they are unlikely to earn any dollars. In the upcoming week, confronting facts might not be your strong suit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be glad that you put something away for a rainy day. The bills that arrive in the week ahead might be unexpected. Embrace an opportunity to express love and affection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Whatever life brings to you, you can get through it. In the week ahead, a key relationship could test your faith or drain your reserves of generosity. Tensions and stressful family situations require more of your patience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sensitivity to the wants and needs of others will probably make you a valuable commodity at the workplace in the week ahead. Use a gift for communication to earn a big commission or make a romantic fantasy come true.
